How the Big Ten East gets 3 in the CFP

[Sean Miller Fan]

Not as far-fetched as you think. I'm not predicting this happens but pointing out it is reasonably possible.

Lets say the following teams win their CCG's:

PSU
Colorado
VT

Alabama and OSU are in. Washington and Wisconsin would be out.

Who gets the last 2?

- Michigan 10-2 with wins over B10 champs, P12 champs, and B10 West Champ

- PSU 11-2 B10 champ with wins over OSU, Wis, and Iowa

- Colorado 11-2 P12 champ with wins over Washington and Stanford

- Clemson 11-2 with wins at Auburn, at FSU, Lou

- A 10-2 Big 12 champ (either OU or OKST). Both would only have 2 Top 25 wins (each other and WVU). OKST could wind up with a 3rd if the CFP puts Pitt in Top 25. And of course, they really won that Central Michigan game

Who goes?

Mich would have best wins but all at home and didn't win their division. Clemson has best road wins but didn't win ACC. PSU would have better resume than Colorado and B12.

Where's that PIC with this guys head in a vice???

Yes it is far fetched. I mean it's worth a post in here I guess for Stuff and Giggles...but cmon man.

Michigan is O U T out.

 

[ThePanthers]

Yeah, extremely far fetched. Oh well, that's what SMF does.

It is Far-Fetched and won't happen but even the thought will cause changes for years to come, SEC Smarts will soon prevail, they have the best minds in CFB Business and have led these changes dating back to the 1980s.

The B1G always figure out how to innovate maneuver advantages for Michigan and Ohio State until there is reset and push back by SEC and others follow.

Michigan isnt out. Lets say Colorado beats Wahington. Does Michigan get left out for PSU, Wis, or Colorado, teams they beat, 2 of which by big margins?

Michigan will be 5 this week, Wisconsin 6, and PSU 7. I don't see how an 11-2 Wis or PSU team jump a 10-2 Mich team who beat them.....and also beat Colorado.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Yeah, extremely far fetched. Oh well, that's what SMF does.

I would say there's like a 5% chance that PSU, VT, and Colorado all win Saturday but there was a .1% chance that 2, 3, and 4 would all lose on Nov 12.

Either way, Michigan is in better position than anyone believes.

 

[BuffetParrothead]

The Nitters DON'T get in the CFP even if they win the BIG10 due to their weak schedule 34th in the country. The wont beat Wisconsin!
There is a chance Mich and Ohio St get in!

 

[Swervin27]

I still cant get my head around the idea that a team can be in the playoff tournament but not at least be in their own conference championship game. I mean, I could possibly, POSSIBLY see being In it and losing and still finding a backdoor in but to not be in the game at all, and still make the 4 team tournament just kills me..

Not putting two non conference champs in. In your scenario, either Oklahoma, Oklahoma State or Colorado is in.

Colorado over Michigan?

Michigan 45
Colorado 28

Mich has better resume.

If that happened I would refuse to watch at all.

if they played in my back yard I would close the blinds.
